      It’s impressive how exactly similar the discourse you quickly sketched out in your original comment is to what I hear in france-cool from cretins coming back from airplane holidays.

      Usually combined with insane stuff like “they live so simply”, “they have so little but they’re so happy”, “they really know how to relax”, “they’re so welcoming and authentic”, etc.

      I guess “wine cave liberals” are universal across the empire

        They like to muse about “simple” lives but are terrified of even the chance of ever having to live one like that. They get very defensive about their colonial treats, don’t they?

            A related sort of colonial brainworms is when ukkk people get super defensive about how their food is perceived and then invoke the magic of curry and how great the curry is in their decaying imperial core… which may possibly be true but even by their own admission it is because of former imperial subjects relocating to the imperial core to make curry for the jellied eels and beans-on-toast people. lmayo
